The Periodic Table of PLM

Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) is an operating model and a platform covering across many business needs, dimensions, functional, integration, technical and non-technical layers. These ‘elements‘ represent the foundations of product development and manufacturing engineering; they can be assembled in various levels of maturity and configurations based on an organization’s context and aspirations – similar to a periodic table of elements: this is the ‘periodic table of PLM‘ which regroups 19 elements or building blocks, including:

Change Management: from engineering change request, change order, production build deviation, issue management, tooling and fixture change management, and many other change types, across the life-cycle of various business objects.

Requirements Management and Systems Engineering: from product attributes and feature list are linked and managed in an integrated manner, to complex interdisciplinary integration across the extended life-cycle of systems, sub-systems and items.

Business Analytics, Dash-boarding and Reporting: from big data gathering and processing, live dashboards to static and dynamic reports, to business intelligence and enterprise data integration, from shop floor to top floor.
